[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. First grade will most likely not be TEC, which is a major root of the dilemma... Friends in the know react as of we won the jackpot by getting a seat at 2R, so I feel a bit moronic or naive not to take it... As for neighbors, we don't know any kids, at any grade level, attending TEC. Also a concern... And I don't love that the school doesn't have a balanced representation from our community. Clearly many or most families who have the means and a choice are not sending their kids there. That said, I am a big believer in local, public school... also a big believer in a great education. Those goals seem quite at odds, beyond the first couple years, at TEC. Still, with that said, the convenience of the local, better-facilities school for early years remains tempting... I just worry whether we'd "hit the jackpot" again in a few years.[/quote]

So what is the plan for 1st grade and beyond?

Getting into a closer charter?   Moving to a stronger public neighborhood school through OOB lottery?  Moving?

I would not bet on the 1st two choices.  If you are planning to move - than I would say for the next 3 years going to TEC is worth it.  If not, I would take the 2R spot.  Last year and this year there were quite a few charters that were new or expanded that opened up a lot of space for children in the city.  I do not see a similar pipeline of charters to provide additional supply over the next 2 years. [/quote]
